I recently bent and broke the white metal GPMG barrel on the PEAK turret of the FV432 that I'm almost done with. No way to repair it but am I safe to assume that I can replace it with the front portion of a FN MAG?

Thanks,
Paul

Yes you would be safe to use the front bit from a MAG-58. To the best of my knowledge the major [visual] differences between the MAG-58 and the GPMG are the barrel change handle, the stock, the receiver top cover and the presence of the sight mounting bracket on the left rear of the GPMG receiver.

I hope that helps.

Cheers - Dan

dan is correct, the main difference is the sighting mounts on the reciever,
so you can swap the broken barrel part with any FN MAG one,

cheers

Outstanding. Thanks for the help.
